McDermott Announces First Cargo from Cameron LNG Train 1
McDermott International announced that the first cargo of LNG has been shipped from the Cameron LNG project in Hackberry, La., marking a key step in development of the facility and a precursor to the completion of Train 1. The latest development follows the announcement of first liquid from Cameron LNG Train 1 on May 14.
Since the initial award in 2014, McDermott and its joint venture member on the project, Chiyoda, have provided the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning for the project. The project includes three liquefaction trains with a projected export capacity of more than 12 million tons per annum of LNG, or approximately 1.7 Bcfd.
Cameron LNG is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG, LLC, Total, Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK).
McDermott also reaffirmed its previously disclosed schedule for another Gulf Coast LNG project. The company said initial production from the third and final train of the Freeport LNG project in Freeport, Texas, is expected in the first quarter of 2020. P&GJ
